Calculations have been carried out on spin-polarized Auger electron emission from a seven-layer chromium (100)-film. The core and valence states conceing the Auger transition are obtained from a self-consistent fullpotential linearized augmented plane wave calculation by using a repeated slab geometry. The calculations refer to experiments on the L3M23V- and L3VV-transitions that have recently been carried out by Heinzmann et al.The Auger spectrum obtained for the LsVV transition agrees relatively well with our calculations, whereas the observed L3M23V-Auger structure is considerably wider than that predicted by our theory. Nevertheless, the spin-polarization in the latter case, which is about -13%, is in fair agreement with the experiment, different from the L3VV-transition where the experiment yields -10% as opposed to the theoretical value of-25%. We give possible reasons for the origin of these discrepancies.
